UPPER MARLBORO, Md. - Funeral services have been set for a 28-year-old Prince George's County police officer who was killed after being hit by gunfire when a suspect began shooting outside a police station in what was called an unprovoked attack, according to police.
Police said this week that Officer First Class Jacai Colson was fatally wounded by a fellow officer after he was mistaken as a suspect during the incident.
Investigators said 22-year-old Michael Ford started firing at the police department's District III station along with other passing vehicles and an ambulance last Sunday while his two brothers are alleged of filming the ambush on their cell phones.
